I average out about 14 to 14.5 I'm not sure if that is release or at the pins my main bowling place doesn't have speed monitors so I only get to see it every now and then
What ball speed do you usually throw?
At release I am at 16 and at the pins it is about a 14.5. This speed seems to work good for me especially playing deep. When playing deep I have no need to help the ball to get to the pocket from the breakpoint. Because of the speed I use it gets there without any trouble. What is your average speed?

15 off the hand, 12.8 at the pins
I've only bowled a few games at a center that has the speed listed on the monitors. How do they calculate the speed? Whatever it is, my best balls were at 14.5

16.5 at the pins... so maybe around 18 at release?
I've never been clocked. I throw the ball, go get a drink from the bar, and come back to watch the pins topple.
(Not really, but I do know it's slower than the average I see at my center.)
18-18.5 at release. 16.5-17 at pins.

I used to throw much faster, but everyone kept telling me the same thing; "you really don't need more speed"…so I've intentionally slowed things down to give my ball more time to hook on it's own. Upside is accuracy. Downside is pin carry.

Dunno about where on the lane it is, since like CG I'm just going by the display on the score monitors, but I'm usually around 13 (21 km/h).
